According to the overall plan, after arrangement, Phu Tho will have 516 schools left, a decrease of 1,182 focal points, equivalent to 69.6%. Along with that, the number of principals and vice principals is expected to decrease by about 2,100 people.
What is very precious is that many management officials do not see leaving the positions of principal and vice principal as a loss, they are willing to return to work as teachers, as long as there is still an opportunity to continue contributing to the education sector.
More commendable, there are teachers who, after 27 years of management work, still happily return to the podium if assigned.
Those decisions say a lot about the teaching profession. The management chair is just a job position, the teaching profession is the job associated with the whole life of many teachers.
Some people have been vice principals for many years but still remember the classroom, remember the students, remember the hours standing in front of the board.
Some people leave their management positions but do not leave the profession, because what they pursue from the beginning is not a title, but an educational career.
That is a very respectable way of thinking.
Most of the management officials returning to teaching have a professional background, many years of teaching and more experience in school management.
If they are arranged according to their expertise, this will be a richly experienced teaching force to immediately supplement those places that are still lacking people.
However, the arrangement must be carried out fairly, transparently, in the right job position and in accordance with regulations on professional title standards.
People who are assigned to return to teaching must be suitable for their expertise, meet the conditions and truly have the ability to teach.
More importantly, it is necessary to create for them the feeling that this is a career change in the same educational mission, not a "demotion".
Because if viewed with that eye, the education sector will waste a valuable resource.
Arranging the apparatus is not to create beautiful numbers in reports, the ultimate goal is to allocate more resources to direct teaching and learning activities.
If thousands of management positions are reduced while thousands of experienced teachers are added, that is a very valuable result.
And the image of management officials in Phu Tho willing to return to blackboards and chalk is an affirmation that the position may change, but the love of the profession pursues the teacher for life.
